‘Money Heist’ Season 5: Netflix Renewal Status And What to Expect

The international Netflix phenomenon, Money Heist (also known as La

Casa De Papel) was back for its fourth season on Netflix in early 2020 and will almost certainly be back for a fifth season. Here’s what we know so far about season 5 of Money Heist including what we can expect, when we can expect the release date and what else we know regarding the future.

We’ll likely hear how well the series has performed in the next few months likely in a Netflix earnings call when they release select viewing figures. Previously, the series has smashed most records with it holding the current record of being the most-watched non-English title on Netflix.

Before we move onto the prospects of the fifth part, you will absolutely want to go and check out the accompanying documentary which released on April 3rd. It documents the meteoric rise of the series with guests including Ted Sarandos, much of the cast and the creators. It gave us some stunning insights including the fact the show was almost axed.

If pre-production has already begun, we’re expecting the series to have already started filming is set to start later in 2020. That was also predicted by the Spanish site, ForumlaTV. With the coronavirus outbreak hitting Spain just as hard as the rest of the world, it’s likely any planned filming in Spring 2020 has been canceled.

The final reason for the show’s continuation is the mammoth ratings it continues to pull in.

Season 4 of Money Heist managed to rack up an incredible 65 million views.


The show also continues to dominate the top 10s in multiple countries with it appearing in the top 5 TV series in the UK almost a month after it launched.

Two months after the release date, the series still sits in the Netflix top 10s.

As of May 29th, the series was in India’s and the United Kingdom’s top 10. It only dropped out of Netflix ES on May 25th. The last time the series was in the United States’ top 10 was on April 27th, 2020.


So, just to conclude. Part 5 of Money Heist is a question of when not if.
